WHAT TO EXPECT AT D23! Every US Disney Park's Expansion Plan

- Dive into the future of Disney Parks! From the highly anticipated transformations at Animal Kingdom to the potential expansions at Disney California Adventure, Magic Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios, we break down the latest rumors, plans, and challenges facing Disney's iconic theme parks.
After all these big announcements, I only hope they can squeeze in something mundane like a new show at Golden Horseshoe, or maybe a new story for Fantasy Faire Theatre. My dreams are so small.
I don’t think Avatar was the biggest diversion from the original vision given that there was supposed to be a mythical kingdom land and the logo of the park literally still has a dragon on it.
And? STOP SMOKING CRACK
there’s a mythical creature in Animal Kingdom, the yeti in Expedition Everest.
Personally, I think "tomorrow" land can just be turned into what it was when it first opened, with all that kinetic energy, the people mover, subs, autopia, monorail, and the rocket jets (Astro Orbitor on top of the roof again ). Then add a thrill ride that goes over the Autopia track layout without removing Autopia. That way, we get the best of both worlds. Disney's vision of the future from the 60s perspective along with a futuristic vision, something like Tron. "Tomorrow" land can be partially from the 60s, just like Frontierland is from the 1800s. If Tron is built over Autopia, that would be a thrilling experience for people on Autopia and the Monorail to see the cycles go by. Turn the Innoventions building into the queue and launch area for Tron, and call it a day. No need to take away any of the attractions that are already there. Just add one more, Tron, bring one back, the People Mover, and move the another one, Astro Orbitor.
I think disney’s very first indoor land is actually mermaid lagoon at tokyo disneysea. but since that opened in 2001 and is relatively small, im really excited to see what disney could do with an indoor themed land in today’s technology
I think Villians land fits better into Magic kingdom, it's a better foible for Fantasyland plus imagine how popular that land would be during Not so Scary Halloween party!!
I actually like it better for Hollywood Studios. Always seemed more as the “big kid” park/ darker elements to it. Plus, it would be a good answer to Universals Monsters Park within Disneys own studio park
@@capcawthat is true, but maybe whatever is added to Hollywood Studios should therefore be more family friendly. I would think the Best case scenario for Disney is to make each park a full day park that appeals to the entire family.
7:36 Given the Big Al interactive statue put in the DCA booth at Grizzly Peak, I also want to make the prediction that Disney will re-theme Grizzly River Run to the Country Bears. So it would be the same track with Country Bear animatronics on it. Funny since I was literally thinking in my head that they should do that- but now it looks likely given the cryptic tease. Also given that they just opened up a new Country Bear show in Florida. Knott’s did exactly that when they re-themed Bigfoot Rapids to the Calico River Rapids.
I think Villains Land will work near Fantasyland as the Haunted Mansion leads directly to the path to Small World in Fantasyland. It just makes sense to build it around that area
Yay…the return of the “Bobby Chapstick” whee! That had me laughing out loud. Thanks for that, and also the well thought out commentary. And, as always, you’re a stand up guy when you mention other channels (DSNY and Mickey Views) for their comments. Seen a few others’ predictions/analysis, but yours was the one I was waiting for. Cheers 🎉
Glad you enjoyed it! ❤️
Wait cheapek is returning!!!???
I feel I am very fortunate to have grown up in the 1960’s and went to the wonderful 1967 Tomorrowland.. “The World on the Move”. I was only 10 but my gosh it was amazing. CircleVison 360, Adventure Through Inner Space, Carousel of Progress, Peoplemover were all brand new. Then Mission to the Moon became Mission to Mars that same year, the old Rockets Jets were put atop the Peoplemover station, Autopia got new cars.
That is what Tomorrowland use to be. (And then Space Mountain came is 10 years later when I worked there.) Star tours was a great addition in 1986 (but at the expense of Inner Space). But then they change the Peoplemover to Rocket Rods which proved to be a disaster because they kept the Peoplemover layout and it just didn’t work (but I like dit when it did) and so here we are today. Sad….
Fun Fact: Rocket Rods was the same track system as Test Track that opened the same year, but because the elevated “road” was simply laid out on the Peoplemover layout instead of purpose-built it broke down a lot!)
I would be ok if they broke it down like:
“In 3 years we’re giving you that. In 5 years we’re giving you this.” Then a tease not of what is coming but what could be coming in 10 years.
Great episode, Brickey. Very informative and great look at the future for WDW and Disneyland. D23 could be a mind blower. Thanks for your out look and prospective.
They probably won’t have space for it, but it would be really cool if they had the Avengers ticket to be the like the guardians ride at Epcot of course with a different theme
Wahoo from the guy who walked up to you to say hello as you sat on the bench by the train station…😊
You did?! Lucky
Monsters inc is lowkey always packed. The park really needs to keep capacity rather than replace it. I dont think the ride is good enkugh to keep, especially in that problematic land, but its still frustrating that the park was so ill planned that we are still having to edit rather than add. So excited for pandora brickey 🎉
With all of the challenges the park faces with replacing hollywoodland, i really have far more confidence that they would rather build pandora from scratch in the 25 acre parking lot west of disneyland drive.
As for tomorrowland, my dream is that they build a figment attraction, and anchor their thesis statement about the future in the power of imagination 🎉
He will announce a bunch of blue sky concept art.
He may get booed off the stage if all they show is more blue sky concepts.
Exactly
I love the idea of an indoor villains land! Tokyo, Disney sea has something similar with an underwater theme, indoor land, and it works really well during hot summers
Not to be that "well ACTUALLY" guy but well, actually Monsters inc is mindboggingly consistent in longer wait times due to it being one of the only family friendly dark attractions in DCA and delays loading on and off. Currently it's at 45 min and incredicoaster is only at 40 for example. I would love for it to be bulldozed and see rethemed Superstar Limo go away forever though.
Hey Brickey! you've been killin it lately man, keep it up friend!!
What does Disneyland do for 2028 to draw attention for the Olympics in LA? Perhaps it's just a polishing of the park for the world's stage, but a Tomorrowland refresh would make sense as part of that.
Yeah I keep thinking that we are going to have some new things lined up for the Olympics in 2028. There’s no way they would pass up that opportunity.
I’m okay with Animal Kingdom getting away from its original mission. I think Pandora was a great addition and it looks like Tropical Americas could also be a home run. Although, I do think Disney should add an animal discovery trail to Tropical Americas as is the case with Asia and Africa. There are so many wonderful animals to feature from Latin America. I also agree with you, a Villains Land belongs in the Magic Kingdom transitioning into Fantasyland. Talk about Yin/Yang. As for the Animation Courtyard in Hollywood Studios, that’s where Zootopia should go or it could go in the Indiana Jones Stunt show corner as Indy will be in Animal Kingdom moving forward. In that case, Cars Land could go in the Animation Courtyard area.
Beautiful video and presentation and I just started watching it! 🎉🎉
All I know is they better come out with more steak than sizzle. Universal doesn’t announce anything till they’re ready to execute. Disney talks a lot but delivers little
And IF Disney actually commits to a project, they take at least 50% longer to build it.
@@SlackerWannaB also, I’m willing to bet Universal has been holding back the Ministry of Magic video, the reveal of what’s going to be in Universal Kids Park, the plans for the horror attraction in Vegas, the last houses and scare zones for HHN, and possibly the official announcement of Universal GB just so they can drop it over D23 weekend.
I wouldn't say they strayed from their original mission with the addition of Pandora the World of Avatar. The original plan for AK was to include magical creatures but money ran out back when the park opened. Yes, it's movie IP but still a magical creature land.
Another classic video. Thank you.
Monsters Inc frequently has relatively high wait times. At 10:00 am it’s already at 40 minutes and would expect it to reach 45-50 for most of the day.
I think reviving the mothballed Spaceship Earth refurb and Play pavilion would make Epcot fans happy, but not all of them (nothing will please everybody of course).
So in recent years, Disney has shown us many "what if..." ideas that never had an actual financial green-lit budget. These were just a bunch of blue-sky watercolor painting dreams with no "actual" money behind them. Disney,...it's OK to do that stuff all they want....fine! However, this time, show us ALL of your great ideas and dreams BUT tell us witch ideas HAVE been approved and which ones that are just ideas that have no "actual" money attached to them. Also,..PLEASE tell us a basic timeline for each idea! As in, 5 years, 10 years or 15 year completion estimate. Disney,..do NOT pump everybody's expectations into the stratosphere on these things!!!. Yes,..this is great for "today" but in a year or two or three when people see no groundbreaking yet, people are going to get furious when the public relations gas runs out. (and it will when budgets get severely slashed for all of this in the future) As Disney fans,...we KNOW this will eventually happen. Budget promises always start off good but then inevitably, finance ALWAYS slashes them drastically mid-project. It's CRITICAL that Disney MANAGE EXPECTATIONS CAREFULLY on this. Your future reputation and credibility is on the line.
Avengers Campus, Hollywood Land and Tomorrowland need something significant and impressive. But I agree with Brickey in that it’s a huge challenge. It’s comes down to completely leveling existing buildings or getting seriously creative. I also would love to see Disney release the imagineers to design something that is not attached to an IP like they did when they came up with Big Thunder or Pirates. It’s risky. But some of the most beloved attractions were not related to movies. They were pure imagination that became wildly popular and later became a movie. That level of creativity and design needs to return to truly honor the magic.
Reining in expectations is the way to go. As a CA resident, the E-ticket for Avengers Campus makes a nice, but expected development. I'd happily take it. But that's not a blockbuster. Blockbuster stuff in CA is the resurrection of the Eastern Gateway, and expansion of both parks to the west. I don't expect anything concrete on any of those this year. I actually don't expect to see much in CA, as anything big is going to be complicated and take a long time to plan out. Maybe next year or the year after.
FL is where the action in the US will be. Don't know what exactly, but the area beyond Thunder Mountain seems the most promising. I suspect Disney really wants to do something there, they just need to decide what exactly. Villians would be fantastic and make a great blockbuster announcement. Maybe one of your other ideas. But only one.
I expect the parks in Asia to be the big winners again. The potential market there is so much bigger than in the US and Paris.
I never considered a villains land for Hollywood Studios, but with Fantasmic at night it would make sense to have it there.
I will fight for Mike and Sully’s that ride is always a pain to get on, today I tried and I couldn’t fathom the 50 minute wait.
Do you really think disney will do this right? There track record right now is pretty bad on wdw instillation .
It does appears that universal - epic, Hollywood, Vegas, and Texas have taken the top industry engineers, construction and imagineers. I don’t think Disney values its employees like it once did. These people want to work and Disney hasn’t made much new stuff since Star Wars land. The big draw the past few years was epic and then there’s Vegas and Texas coming too. Then it seems like Hollywood has more plans beyond fast coaster too. It’s more guaranteed work at universal than Disney.
No
Exactly
Agree with you on Tomorrowland, they should make it like the movie or at least place where companies can show case new ideas, almost like a NES show, new tech.
All-Star Brickey!!!
You are wrong about fans not wanting duplicate attractions. As an east coast native I have no desire to go to California on a regular basis. Every 5-10 years is enough. I go to Florida every year.
I am crossing my fingers and toes and hoping that it’s Zootopia that is replacing the Hollywood back lot
Agree! The theme and architecture would fit beautifully. That said, I think this potential project would require demolition of the bus drop-off and construction of the new parking lot to the east.
@@RonanBunny if it is Zooptopia I hope it’s a completely different ride. The one at Shanghai is a carbon copy of Rise of the Resistance. I’d rather have a whole new ride system to enjoy. Maybe one that will tie into the sequel.
Same here! I don't think it'll happen quickly as it really wants that bus terminal area and Monsters Inc. is doing just fine for now, but it's a great fit for the park and especially as an area with a monorail running overhead.
Thanks for elevating my curiosity for D23 after the last two lack luster events it was becoming a non event.
2 ideas
Imagine the things you could do with a WHOLE villians park. This would have to be a themed land (sadly) for kids and adults but lean it to adults. Think it as a not so scary maybe just scary type. villians and minions wandering picking on guests. A whole " terror " trail (walk through) or dark ride filled with all sorts of haunts. But for adults...THE JABBERWOCKY ROLLERCOASTER!! A full on thrilling rollercoaster for even the most avid of rollercoaster enthusiasts.
while yes, universal has the velocicoaster. disney needs something along that line or better! the launch could be called the breath of the jabberwocky and the chase begins. inversions, loops, hard turns and big air time. we need this to feel like we are being chased by the jabberwocky. it needs loud speakers all around the coaster and make it feel immersive.
the restaurant would be the sanderson sisters brew house.
the next ride would be Chernabog's Revenge, a hyper themed true villianious ride. it would be akin to pirates in Disney Tokyo, big screens, immersive and wildly wicked throughout.
yes, this is insanely past what disney would very likely allow but imagine the possibilities of a villian land truely being villainous.
the other thought for hollywood studios is leveling everything besides tower of terror and star wars land of course. There is a big story within the disney parks called S.E.A.S. The Society of Explorers and Adventurers. disney.fandom.com/wiki/Society_of_Explorers_and_Adventurers
This all new park would be based around the story and adventurous, an e-ticket WET ride would be involved. In this park you could make it a bit more kid friendly with adventurous themes, character meet ups and quests for kids to play along with. Completely immersive, quests and items throughout the park to interact. tower of terror could be integrated as well into this story as well. it is an old, run down hotel but is haunted by the ghosts from the crews of ships that have passed through and stayed at the hotel.
just a couple thoughts since we are big thinking about parks.
While we love seeing your face and the park in the background, it has been cool to see these narration style videos too!! Really enjoying them. Now I’m extra excited for D23!! 🎉
It has more to do with scheduling than anything else. It won’t always be this way it’ll bounce back n forth based on my schedule and video topics.
@@HeyBrickey that totally makes sense! we have Imagine Keys, so I feel that on a personal level when it comes to scheduling lol 😂💖
To be fair Animal Kingdom was originally supposed to include fictional animals however I do feel like Pandora should’ve been in Hollywood Studios
I got to Enjoy MGM studios when it was relatively new. On the ride thru the studio, they were doing the drawings for Little Mermaid... They really have neglected Hollywood Studios since.
i dont even go to Tomorrowland anymore, its horrible
Can’t wait for Disneyland’s birthday tomorrow!!!
Looking forward to what D23 reveals.
Same In terms of d23 predictions I hope they finally announce more about and start construction on that avengers e ticket ride that they have been promising us since 2019 for California adventure
I look forward to your return to a finished Cotino this December!
Should be huge. Especially since they moved it to the Honda Ctr
So you think, at D23, they're going to announce the cancelation of their already announced (and set to open this year) new Little Mermaid attraction in the Animation Courtyard?
I hope they'll announce more plans for that area, but you grossly underestimate the love people have for that Little Mermaid show. That attraction is a classic, and it sounds like the new version is going to be better than ever.
DAK was always supposed to have fictional animals. Search beastly kingdom, or the opening day dedication
I have been hearing that Disneyland's Astro Blaster is being re-themed to Bambi. 🧐 And the People Mover WILL be re-built and have a new theme called Rocket Rods.🤓 The Subs will be re-themed as a Frozen 'Underwater' ride. 😎 You guessed it... Space Mountain will also be themed as Tiana's Spicy Spacy Adventure. 🥸 Everything else will be a DVC club or hotel. 😟
He shall always be name bobby "paycheck" chapstick
I'm excited to hear your follow-up videos after D23. My heart is still broken that Disney ripped out The Great Movie Ride. Sorry Brickey you never got to experience one of the best rides at WDW. I would love to see a Villians ride, fashioned after the GMR. The style of the ride could be a fit, with scenes from different movies, showcasing the villians. Re: Tomorrowland is the "Carousel of Progress" building at Dland unusuable? What a great unusual venue for something creative. Lastly, I agree whole heartedly, Disney needs to not copy and paste. Give us reasons to go to different parks for those unique experiences. Crossing my fingers.
Its Sad what the D23 expo/event has become a marketing fest rather that Fan Fest for the biggest Disney Fans but seeing how the restrictive the parks have become its no surprised that the Disney narrative has also spread to the D23 event! As soon as I saw the Horizons title with a Mickey Mouse music Conductor for the parks panel I was glad I didn't get tickets to that showcase as its only 1.5 and I already know have of that will be musical numbers and perhaps the muppets taking up time which leads to less time for more parks announcements. here's to hoping I am wrong but ive been to all of them and they keep getting worse as far as what's coming and guest experience.
This might seem like a bizarre question, but what "is Disney" from a park's perspective? Is it a place for families to enjoy together? Is it a place for roller coaster enthusiasts? Is it a place for Disney adults to have a unique meal or drink? Is it an immersive interactive experience blending aspects of fantasy into reality? Is it a place to experience the latest ride concepts and designs? I am a Season Pass holder at a boardwalk amusement park, I can describe it as a permanent carnival (lots of basic flat rides) with a handful of unique roller coasters.
It is all of those things to different people. There’s no wrong way to spend a day in the park and lots of people do it differently
@@HeyBrickey And that is why "parks fans" are normally disappointed after D23. No solution will satisfy the majority of fans. Updating rides=destroying nostalgia, new lands=what about maintaining/updating the current lands, check out our new food festival=what are attractions, general park updates/upgrades=great more walls everywhere, blue sky discussion=what no concept art, concept art displayed=what no ride vehicles, etc. Ironically with all of the complaints related to IP'ing all of the parks, discussions of villain's land are almost universally met with applause.
They should turn Space. mountain to a Mickey Sorcerer battle for Halloween
Or, they can bring back Ghost Galaxy & call it a day. Ghost Galaxy is another attraction that unfortunately hasn't seen the light of day since 2018.
@@pinball541Ghost galaxy was my favorite ride ever
I've heard that rumor before and I still think a Haunted Mansion restaurant would be awesome. But I'll never understand why they didn't do a Tip Top Club or some kind of restaurant for Tower of Terror.
Avatar at DCA makes no sense to me. I'd rather keep what's already there.
Tomorrowland update is only a matter of time. Will it be announced at D23? Will they have the money to do it after the updates to HM and Tiana's? Who knows.
Anyone else think Josh should replace Iger?
What's behind btm?
Follow me down the rabbit hole for a minute A villain's land where tomorrow land is They have the buildings for the dark rides Nemo, they could take the water out and make it into a dark ride too. A Mickey Sorcerer ride Battling it out in space mountain. Pure imagination of course.
13:39 Agreed! Maybe 2
I really like your breakdown, also your voice and presentation style of the video. However “animals” is not the “theme” of animal kingdom. The intrinsic value of nature was Joe Rohdes original vision. Animals merely are the means to convey that, but that’s also why the conservation story lines of so many areas work so well. It’s about respecting nature, and learning what you can do to help revere nature. Animals are a huge part of that. Encanto seems a little more iffy, but Indiana Jones at least is an archeologist which is all about preserving the past etc. and respecting the powers of the more divine things which I think works well. Keep it up!
Yeah I messed up doing this in a hurry I should have used the word conservation but these videos are a lot work for one guy and I make mistakes trying to get a teams worth of work done in two days.
@@HeyBrickey wow a one man team with your production value is great! Keep up the good work
@@Treecko890 thanks bud. It’s a lot but I enjoy it.
Bring back what most people want at DL... People Mover!!!!!!!
monsters line is 45 mins or more everyday now
Really, the guy who’s going to be considered for CEO is on the chopping block?
That old animation courtyard at Hollywood Studios is wasted space they need something over there so much space, over the years people have pitched Radiator Springs, Monstropolis, A Villains themed land anything
Crazy person here. I have an idea for Tomorrowland.
Villains needs to be in Hollywood Studios.
So wrong dude! It doesn’t even fit the theme!
@ChunkychunHealy Nope. You couldn't be more wrong. They even had a Villains themed Merch store near the Muppets area decades ago. But thanks for playing.
as long as the current leadership is there, disney is beyond dead in the water. please disney, please, we need more shopping districts, hotels and restaurants to distract us from your neglected parks and attractions.
Is Josh D'Amaro good at his job?
Nope! He should be canned, just like Iger. Fire everyone at the top, bring in better talent, clean house and then turn the sinking Disney Corp around with a focus on the money-making engine of the parks.
They need to get way more conservative on their crappy studios division and probably shut down Disney+.
@@SlackerWannaB yep, feels that way.
Amber Fehl make Disney villain land first❤ to make
I fear there just gonna blue sky us agin hope not or just gonna lie to us
Ban D.E.I. …???!!! 🤞🏼
If anyone believe Braydon and Mickey Views, they need serious mental and drug counseling
Amber Fehl Josh, keep his job❤
All talk and no action🥱
Well there are several of us who wish to have and experience Radiator Spring's racers the attraction. If no one would want more clones is only by if the blue sky wait and wait based on the entire Beyond Big Thunder would end up only on that. Family Franchise's like Cars, Frozen and Big Hero 6 etc shouldn't be limited to one coast. To me the ride will be part of a family eater for the whole family wheras Coco and Villains will be more on population split taste. TBA makes no sense for little ones can't admire their beloved princess for their age and height.
👍👍
Are you delusional?😂 monsters inc always has such a long line and never had the lowest wait in the park smh
Disney has turned into a cancer in the film making space and as a company. Bob Iger and Kathleen Kennedy push "THE MESSAGE" so hard that they have forgotten what made them such a beloved storytelling business. The company needs to be surgically and strategically moved back into focus.
I think they need to stop hemorrhaging money on every movie. Espn loses money. There parks attendance is way down. How about correct your mistakes rather than make a shitty expansion that's probably from a 20 year old movie. Get your shit together disney
I hope not Bob Iger not the nexx
Michael Eisner and destroy sorrowland I mean Tomorrowland because Universal’s gonna take over with epic world and with las Vegas #hhn 365 days
Universal Horror Unleashed is an upcoming 110,000-square-foot (2.5-acre) Halloween-themed attraction under construction at Area15, an entertainment complex located in Las Vegas, Nevada, and in development at Universal Studios Great Britai
Opening in 2025
I wonder if they’ll change the name of animal kingdom to Adventure Kingdom.
Light on the info, heavy on the bashing. Lol
If the cast members go out in strike, I will stop supporting any TH-camr who crosses the picket line.
It’s not a crime to talk about Disneyland Paris… All american vidéo on This D23 talk about only american Park…
Because that’s all we care about! I’m not a bot!
